What is the most exciting part of going to department store? For me, it's visiting Shoe Department. Sea of colorful shoes makes my heart happy :D I also love trying shoes: Elegant high heels, quirky wedges, cute flat shoes, to simple or strappy sandal... I like how my posture become slightly taller & straighter when I wear high heels. Feels like a fashionista while wearing wedges. And being cute while wearing flats and sandals.

One brand I love to see at department store is Be-Bob Shoes. They have LOTS of style to suit all your needs. In my opinion, every woman need:

Brighten up your working day with these fashionable shoes! Well, at least you should have one black formal shoes...

3. Party Shoes

From casual cocktail party, beauty community gathering, to bestfriend's wedding party. Simple heel or quirky wedges, up to you :)

What kind of shoes do you need right now? Luckily, all those shoes can be bought at Be-Bob Shoes website! Yay!!
Actually I don’t really like the idea of buying shoes online, because we don’t know whether the size is correct or will it be comfortable. But these Be-Bob Shoes are already sold in many department stores in Indonesia (and it is local brand! Be proud :D), so I've tried and seen the quality when I visit the store. It's well made and comfortable to wear.

I love those designs above, but decided to buy a simple flat shoes – which goes to whatever I’m wearing and wherever I’m going. One which is comfortable enough to be worn all day, crossing the street, riding a bus, and simply fashionable enough to be worn inside a mall. So, I bought this shoes online at Be-Bob! :D

Well, since my collection of basic items are enough now, I can prepare to buy cute shoes!!
Hahahahaaa... Will hubby read my post? Either will he think I’m a desperate housewife shoe-aholic, or will he buy me more shoes?? :p

HOW TO MAKE IT

Prepare 2 cardboard in your desired size (fit to your laptop). NOTE: cut the 2 cardboard in DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS of bones (see illustration above). This is to make the cardboard stronger once they are glued together.

Prepare 2 sheets of fabrics. One for the upper desk, and one for the bottom which will be filled with dacrons. The bottom fabric will be bigger (wide&tall) than the upper fabric.

Cover one cardboard with the bottom fabric, leave some spaces around the cardboard, so the fabric is not tight. We'll make this part fluffy!

Detail on how to fold the bottom fabric:

Wrap the upper fabric to the second cardboard tightly.

Glue them together, securely. I combined my 3 types of adhesive: double tape for the center, FOX between fabric to cardboard, and UHU between fabric to fabric. It's just a trial and error :p

As Indonesian woman, we are proud wearing kebaya :D But as a hijaber/hijabi/jilbaber, choosing kebaya style is quite tricky.Disclamer: This is just my opinion, based on my thought looking at some muslim kebaya style on the internet. If you own one of these pictures and would like me to erase the pict from my post, please tell me :) All pictures were googled using "muslim kebaya" keyword.

On Wednesday I went to JIExpo Kemayoran, seeing Food & Hotel Indonesia Expo. If you have no invitation, you can walk in by paying Rp 100.000. Inside, you can taste so many food & snacks & coffee! Hehehehh....

Dishware setting in blue..

My cousins join cooking demo with the famous chef William Wongso.

Coffee machine! Must be expensive *_* cool isn't it?

Flour company created a beautiful "bread house" to attract buyers.

But this was the one I attracted the most: TAO KAE NOI!!! :p I looove Tao Kae Noi's nori!!

This event is a must for food & beverages & hotel industry, but you can just come to taste some food :)

Sometimes I looked back at my old posts and sooo embarrassed at the way I used to dress up in the past (knowing that nowadays there were SO MANY hijab fashion blogs and they all looked glorious and beautiful and so fashionable). It makes me wanna delete some of my old fashion posts (or just turn it to "draft" mode)!

But I realised, the way we dress up is a process, just like our maturity. People change. So does their ages, thoughts, fashion styles, circle of friends, and lifestyles. No need to be ashamed of your past, coz you can learn from it. For life, learn from your mistakes & memorize happy feelings. And for clothing? Learn what suits you the best and what you should avoid wearing :p
